The order is a part of the contract announced in August 2014 for the 84-mm recoilless rifle system. Deliveries are expected to take place during 2015 and 2016.

The Carl-Gustaf M4 is the latest version of the portable, shoulder-launched, multi-role weapon system. It gives users a wide range of engagement options and allows troops to remain agile and effective in any scenario.
